Meeting Up Before The Race

As per usual we will have two cars (Thanks to Donie O'Connell) parked on the cliffs near the start where members can leave their gear etc. These will be supervised during the race. We usually meet up here get some photo's and do a warm up on the pitch n putt course beside the car park. So any member wishing to avail of this is welcome. Also don't forget to bring something that you can wear to the start and then dispose of ie old t shirt, hoodie etc. as it can get very cold waiting around for 15-20 mins.

Formed in 1966 Midleton Athletic Club is one of the few clubs in the Cork area that has both a juvenile section and a senior section as well. This blog will deal with the senior section. The senior section has a wide variety of members ranging from members in mid seventies to just out of juvenile. It is proud to boast that two of our members represented Ireland in the Olympic Games. Whilst most members nowadays seem to favour road running over the complete variety of distances from 3Km to marathon and beyond also X Country and track and field as well. There is an active social side to the club. Anyone wishing to join is welcome to try out for a session before committing to the club. The club trains on Mondays from 6pm in the Midleton College Cricket Field and on Wednesdays @ 6.30 we meet for indoor and outdoor training with Edmond O'Sullivan at Midleton Community Centre A Couch 2 5Km group also meet there on Wednesdays. Other group runs are organised amongst members during the week. New members are welcome anytime.
